Every time we go to Gatlinburg, we have to stop and see our friend Kasey Schroeder at Angelic Whispers. Amazingly, Sheri always needs a new pair of earrings!

We posted about this shoppe about 3 years HERE (where does the time go??), but forgot to post when she moved to another location. That's OK--she moved again! :) And this place, unlike the 2nd, is handicap accessible. (And Jeff says, "great, thanks Kasey...there goes half our vacation $$!")

My absolutely favorite piece!

She is now located in the quaint Calhoun Village which is directly behind Calhoun's Restaurant and Cherokee Grill between traffic lights 9 & 10 (directly across from Ober Gatlinburg).

One SMALL section of the earring display!

She is truly a very talented lady doing what she loves, super-friendly, and her shop is really just charming. And she's a hoot to talk to! ;) All her items are made in shoppe by Kasey herself.

Say HI to Kasey! Isn't she beautiful?

I encourage you to stop by her shoppe the next time you're in Gatlinburg--you really will be amazed at her reasonable prices. And gentlemen, not to worry, there's a bench outside the shop where you can sit while your wife shops! ;)

Yes, it is & we have the sunburns to prove it! ;) Wow, we couldn't believe the temperatures here this weekend. When we left home it wasn't even 45 degrees and it was 75 Saturday and Sunday in TN. We were definitely soaking up the sunshine and apparently so were ALOT of other people. We couldn't believe the crowds this weekend. I guess everyone had the same idea for weekend plans.

Gatlinburg was all decked out in spring and Easter decorations--bunnies everywhere & pastel bows around the lampposts. They were planting bright yellow and deep purple pansies in all the railing-boxes up and down the streets.

It's always interesting to us to see who has gone out of business since our last trip down & who has replaced them. The Legends by Max restaurant was out of business the last time we were here in October. No more smells of marinara and oregano drifting up and down the street! It has been replaced by the Davy Crockett Distillery, same owners of the Ole Smokey Moonshine. You can see how Tennessee whiskey is distilled and they offer free tastings of their Fire Tower Cinnamon Whiskey, Salty Caramel Whiskey,
Chokin Chicken Vodka, and their signature 90 Proof Davy Crockett's
whiskey. Like the Ole Smoky Moonshine, they also feature live performances of bluegrass musicians.

Of course, you know some things never change in Gatlinburg. It still smells like a carnival with all the sweet sugary smells!

Welcome...

ON THE ROAD WITH BLOOMERS AND DRAWERS...a simple little blog about scooterin'. :) It started out as an RV travel blog, but the economy went south and the lotto numbers didn't match, so all we could afford were scooters instead of the big ol' RV. Join us in our adventures of one old geezer and his lovely "craft-crazy" wife ;) as we scooter our handicap butts around and find the truth about "handicap accessiblity".
